Class 6 Reflection

Class was quite exciting this week. It was very helpful to learn how to print transparencies in class (and how to print PowerPoint slides). Those are things all of us will use someday. Printing transparencies also taught us how to use manual feed. When I printed out my brochure I used manual feed to print on both sides of the paper. (Thanks to Holly, who helped me figure out which way to put the paper in to print the second page!)
I learned how to create brochures and newsletters last semester using MS Word. I've never tried Publisher before, but it's a great program. It makes it very easy to create a professional brochure in no time at all! I need to go back to the lab to play with my brochure a little bit, but I was pretty much able to finish it in the hour or so we had in class.
Brochures and newsletters are great ways to send information home for parents. They're also helpful for students, especially media center brochures. You can put a lot of information on a little brochure, and adding graphics makes it interesting to read.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone's brochures next week. It will be neat to see how creative my classmates are!
